Read my grub.conf, carefully.

Notice, in particular, the NOTICE at the top:

# NOTICE:  You do not have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)

Now, further notice that the "root(hd?,?)  entries throughout the grub.conf
file are all pointing to different places.
